MetaMask mUSD Stablecoin Launch Set for 2025

August 21, 2025 – MetaMask has announced the launch of its wallet-native dollar stablecoin, MetaMask mUSD stablecoin, set to debut later this year on Ethereum and Consensys’ Linea network.

MetaMask Introduces Wallet Native Stablecoin

The MetaMask mUSD stablecoin will come from Bridge, a platform that builds and issues stablecoins. Liquidity will flow from M0, ensuring the token remains backed and liquid. MetaMask says the goal is to make DeFi simpler, cheaper, and easier for new users.

Integration Into Web3 Ecosystem

The MetaMask mUSD stablecoin will connect directly with wallet features. Users can swap, bridge, or use fiat on-ramps without needing external tokens. MetaMask will also launch a payment card with Mastercard, allowing mUSD spending in everyday purchases. With this move, MetaMask strengthens its role as both a DeFi hub and a payment gateway.

Role in Linea’s DeFi Growth

MetaMask expects the mUSD stablecoin to become central to Linea’s DeFi ecosystem. Product lead Gal Eldar said the token will reduce costs and smooth onboarding. By keeping value native to the wallet, users can move into DeFi or make payments without friction.

Regulatory Clarity with GENIUS Act

The launch of the MetaMask mUSD stablecoin follows the recent US stablecoin law. On July 18, President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act, which sets rules for backing, issuance, and disclosures. This new clarity gives projects like MetaMask a stronger foundation to expand.
